Town Square.... Plans Still Pending..

We await the Opportunity Doug Jacobsen Promised he would be providing the Citizens of Grand Terrace to participate in the Development of the Town Center, and Design Elements related to the area and adjoining areas.

Mr. Jacobsen has not held a single meeting with the "Public" since he obtained the Exclusive Developer Agreement.

In addition, He has not fulfilled the requirements of that Agreement, missing goals and deadlines repeatedly.

In addition, the City's failure to go to bid for alternative Proposals for the RDA Property shows unfair practices. His contract or MOU has run out.

In addition, current plans are apparently to either have a Junk Food Road, or a Chili's Bar and Grill along with a MEGA STATER's. These Uses are not Pedestrian Friendly, nor do they add to the Sustainability of the Community, Nor do they make the community safer from crime, and or drunk drivers.

Not that anyone has asked.

Perhaps the City needs to Tax Paper Take Out Containers, or Sales at a 50c per order tax for trash pick up.

As Doug Jacobsen uses RDA FUNDS or Holds Advantage his grab of Grand Terrace Just keeps getting larger and larger...
